Comments Thread For: SHO's Bernstein: Khan is Legit Threat in Mayweather Bout

[Slick_Rick]

I have always believed Khan would beat Floyd, the current version at least.

Front foot Floyd would probably stop Khan. Backfoot Floyd gets outworked.

Look at what Khan has done to some fighters from range.

Even common opponents like Zab. Khan immediately found Zab and beat the shyte out of him. It took time for Floyd to find Zab.

I think Khan would find and cut up Floyds face. Bloody him up. Floyd still has the goods, but he's 38. And at this age he can look good against almost anyone, surely against a washed up injured Pac.

Almost anyone, but Khan. Khan is too rangey, and too fast, too young. Wrong opponent for Floyd. They know that. Thats why the fight never happens.

Al's been hitting the bottle again - and hard. Danny Garcia can knock Khan into next year, but Floyd faces a legit threat in Amir? Who are you kidding Al? Fighting Khan will be so easy, it will make the Pacquiao bout look like a war.

Styles makes fights.

i agree, i would've rather seen floyd vs khan last september than the maidana rematch. ramadan will always be there bro, floyd won't

[zalcups@yahoo.c]

Ha ha ha. How could you say mr bernstein that khan is legit threat in mayweather bout. For me there is no threat on mayweather except manny pacquiao. Khan has been knock out cold by danny garcia maybe danny garcia will be the threat to mayweather than khan.
YOU CAN'T SALE THAT FIGHT MAYWEATHER VS KHAN

[batista84]

Yeah for the 3 rounds......Floyd when then land rights hands at will and KO Khan.....THat speed is not gonna do much against a guy with the skills of Floyd.....And Floyd can just fight Khan on the inside....and walk him down. Khan has ZERO inside game

it doesnt help Khan has been fighting bums at 147 either

Alexander ain't a bum, put him with another top welterweight and he'll do decently.

"For me there is no threath on mayweather except manny pacquiao, Khan has been knock out cold by Danny Garcia maybe Danny Garcia will be the treah to Mayweather"

Styles makes fights - Triangle theories don't work.

You don't know **** about boxing, if you watched Floyd's fights since Gatti you shuld know that flat footed boxer punchers (Gatti, Baldomir,, Canelo) don't have a chance against Floyd.

Good outside fighters with good jab give him problems (De La Hoya, Castillo I, Cotto)

Khan stylistically is a problem for Floyd, I don't think he beats him, but he besides Thurman are the only ones who could bother Floyd.

[swifty007]

Khan is a legit threat, but he does NOT deserve the fight! Khan keeps fighting "stay busy" opponents, and not looking to make a statement. Guererro, Thurman, Porter, Maidana, Perterson, Garcia, and Broner, are all much better choices than Algeri. They're all also Haymon fighters, so any of them should be easy to get fights. Most of all, Brook has a belt! What better way to prove your worth, than by beating Brook, the only other WW with a belt?

I agree! He has had at lease two years to win a marquee fight to cement his status as the guy who is "next". And he refuses to fight a top ten welterweight coming off an impressive victory. His whole persona comes across as an entitled yuppie. Let him fight the best of the rest after may and pac are gone if he truly wants to be the guy.

[FrankieBruno]

Paulie said the same and he was the guy who predicted what Floyd wud do to Pac

[joseph5620]

At this stage I agree. But it probably won't happen.
